L’Edition scientifique en SHS face au numérique et à Internet: Un enjeu pour la France

Abstract

The ongoing revolutions in the media and practices employed by both writing and reading, together with the development of digitalization and the growth in Internet applications present a profound challenge to the activities of all actors involved in traditional publishing, and this includes libraries. These revolutions have a particular impact on the Human and Social Sciences (HSS), which are thereby offered what were heretofore practically inaccessible social prospects. Hence the importance for researchers in the HSS – in particular in France – of the stakes presently playing out around the policies conducted in this area.
